Winery Review: Catena Malbec presents a deep violet color with purple reflections. This microclimate blend of four unique vineyards offers intense aromas, soft texture, and concentrated flavor. Deep aromas of ripe red and dark fruits are joined by delicate violet and lavender notes, with traces of vanilla and mocha. A rich, concentrated mouthfeel is highlighted by flavors of blueberries and blackberries with a touch of leather and cinnamon. The wine has well-integrated tannins, bright acidity, and a flinty minerality that provides exceptional length to the finish. Pair with roast turkey, grilled steak, salmon, and pasta with red sauce.
My Review: Such a wonderful nose on this wine. It is very fruity with hints of raspberry and cherry. Quite the vibrant bouquet. The taste has an earthy cherry quality to it with a slight oak taste. More red fruit is evident. Good mouthfeel on the palate and smooth with a long finish.
